Excellent post. Your description of "jizz" reminds me of Malcom Gladwell's book Blink.

I am a firm believer in personal development for personal development's sake. Study what turns you on. Don't worry about the application. If you are passionate about it, you will find use for it.

Adrian, this is a fascintating post! In the "new" science way of knowing, the world is governed by pattern, not by rules. Curiously,humans seem to be designed to be(maybe I should say "have evolved to be", I don't mean to imply I'm an Intelligent Design advocate LOL) exceptional at pattern-recognition, as your post illustrates. It's this pattern competency that is a key to mastery...analytical capacity, while extremely valuable along the way or post-mortem for learning purposes, seems to be far less effective in practice, for birdwatching, managing, or coping with a crisis of whatever magnitude.
Aloha,
Beth

Wonderful post. Keeping our minds open to possibilities, serindipity, links, non-verbal cues, incoherant murmurings... all can inspire new ideas and fantastic results. Thanks for a truly fine article.
